It's strange to me how a key selling point of these vertical tabs is "save on vertical space", but they almost always still include a header bar. You can see in the video they posted that it saves almost no vertical space, while now taking up a massive amount of horizontal space.

That's a cool idea. Move the rest of the browser chrome into the left bar as well. Less of vertical tabs as an entire vertical chrome.

They certainly do save space on Firefox (with the right config).

In the default setting, there is OS title bar, then a address+icon bar, then the tab bar.

After installing sidebar tabs, you can remove the tab bar with some css, which saves about 5% of the vertical screen space.

I have just found that ‘disable JavaScript’ in Brave on iOS removes ‘Promoted Posts’ on Reddit on mobile.

So, looks like I’ll move to that when Apollo shuts down.

Works with Twitter too - I’m a noob smh.

*looks like I’m wrong- now not loading. Oh well.
